What is a ligament tear in the knee How long do you need for it to heal from the day it was torn if there was a pop Is the best treatment to have it held in place tied together until the pop is gone?
If you have a tear in a ligament it is called a sprain. Sprains come in different degrees depending on how much is torn. A mild sprain can be treated with RICE (Rest Ice Compression and Elevation). If you heard a pop, then most likely you suffered a dislocation. That is more severe because it involves a forceful separation of a joint and more severe tearing of ligaments with possible damage to the joint capsule. I am not sure how you are keeping it tied together, but anytime there is a possibility of a dislocation or a break there is usually loss of function in the joint, or the nearest joint if it is a break. The best thing to do if you hear a pop, since it could be a dislocation or a break, is to get it x-rayed and checked out by a doctor.

What muscles on the knee are damaged real bad that a football player cannot play football anymore?
It's not muscles that are damaged bad enough to end a player's career but meniscus and ligaments. The more common injuries are to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and meniscus (cartilage). Severe ligament or meniscus injuries require surgery to repair and it is possible to damage all three at the same time. An single injury to meniscus is generally not considered career threatening but an injury to the ACL and/or MCL certainly can be.
